Prime numbers are one of the most basic topics of study in the branch of mathematics called number theory. Primes are numbers that can only be evenly divided by themselves and 1.

Creating a python app is easy, but as mentioned earlier, you lose the tight integration with the Prime that is (only?) possible via HP PPL. In particular, PPL subroutines START (), RESET (), Info (), ...

A generator equation can spit out many prime numbers, but it leaves important mathematical questions unanswered ...

A basic feature of number theory, prime numbers are also a fundamental building block of computer science, from hashtables to cryptography.

A year after tackling how close together prime number pairs can stay, mathematicians have now made the first major advance in 76 years in understanding how far apart primes can be.

That prime numbers and powers of 2 fascinate many people comes as no surprise. In fact, all numbers split into two camps: interesting and boring ...

The new prime number discovered at the very end of 2017 corresponds to M77232917. It has 23,249,425 digits – almost a million digits more than the previous record-holding prime.

The formula named after him is 2 to the power of “p” minus 1, where “p” is a prime number. This doesn’t always yield a prime, but the result has a greater chance of being prime, and it ...
